7-4 : Greinke Dominates

4 years for $38 Million is starting to look like a steal.

Aside from a few mercy runs in Friday's game, the Royals have completely shut down the Rangers in Arlington, which is no small feat. Greinke was masterful, and good for Hillman to let him finish the game even after a runner got on base in the ninth.

Talk about Cy Young awards is always premature before the season starts, and it's still a little early, but the Kid has to start showing up on the radar soon.

Greinke delivered the best game of his career with a seven-hit shutout in a 2-0 victory at the Ballpark in Arlington. He improved to 3-0, took over the American League lead in strikeouts and, still, has not allowed a run this season.
